INNER CHILD HEALING – Tatjana Genys
From the mountains of Bhutan to the Amazonian jungle, Tatjana has explored many healing modalities to heal her inner child, that led her onto her path of purpose
FUCK YES ENERGY - Jourdi Bleu
Fuck Yes Energy wasn’t always easily accessible to this warrior goddess. She has climbed her way out of a traumatic head injury and drug/alcohol addiction to come home to herself. Jourdi shares how she found her sparkle and is helping others find theirs too.
LIVE THE DREAM – Theodore Avery
From humble upbringings in Canada, Theodore grew up to believe that pursuing your passions was risky business. But he broke free from traditional boundaries, lived nomadically for 2 years, started a 6-figure travel blog business, and now pursues a career as an actor.
ALMOST GAVE UP...UNTIL - Jean Paul Amedee
Jean Paul Amedee started primary school in Bujumbura, Burundi (Africa) like any other child in the neighbourhood, until the age of ten when he faced the threat of genocide at the hands of the Tutsis. What happened next is nothing short of inspirational.
DANCING TO FREEDOM – Courtney Krulis
Courtney Krulis discovered inspiration amidst the dust and chaos of Burning Man. It was there she realised her life, constrained by expectations and a corporate facade, needed a new choreography. She left behind her ‘successful’ life in New York, and embraced dance not just as movement, but as a profound source of rebellion, release, and rebirth.
LEMONS TO LEMONADE – Shannon Molloy
Shannon has always been passionate about storytelling. He’s done it for fun and also for an income. On countless occasions, he’s used storytelling to survive. He used it to process abuse, trauma and guilt. And as a way of dreaming big dreams when hope was lost.
